Roadshow on June 22 and giant screen in Marseille for the French GP
Marseille will indeed host a Formula 1 roadshow on the Friday of the French Grand Prix around the Old Port. A giant screen will also be set up to follow the qualifying and the race on Saturday and Sunday.
Announced for several weeks, the roadshow in the streets of Marseille will finally take place on the evening of Friday, June 22, on a circuit created for the occasion between the Old Port, near the town hall quay, and the Mucem.
According to our colleagues at Fréquence Sud, a temporary circuit will be set up between the Vieux Port and La Joliette, and the Formula 1 cars will race on this track in the evening, starting at 6:30 PM, which will unfortunately prevent most of the regular drivers from participating. However, no names have yet been confirmed by the organization.
Furthermore, a giant screen is expected to be installed to follow the qualifications on Saturday and the race on Sunday, which will exceptionally start at 4:10 PM due to the England team’s match in the football World Cup at 2 PM. This event, intended to be popular, will be entirely free and open to everyone.
